Chapter 540
Paul was the best secretary in Jipsburg. He had a sharp eye for things. Only, he didn’t voice out everything he’d seen.
In addition, he believed that Skylar was worth Joe’s love. How could Joe have made a mistake? After all, Gloria praised her incessantly. She even treated Skylar Ike her own granddaughter.
“Alright, you can go,” said Joe.
Paul left immediately as he had many things to do. He could be busy for the whole day.
Once Annie got home, she took a shower. Unable to sleep, she stayed awake till the sun rose. Only then did she gather the courage to contact Steven.
Annie made multiple calls to him. Yet, he never picked up. She thought of what Steven had told her. Had he already started work at this hour?
Grayson and Sabrina couldn’t sleep either. When they saw Annie calling Steven to no avail, Sabrina lost her composure. She asked, “What’s going on?”
“I think he’s busy. His phone probably isn’t with him.”
“Is he busy this early in the morning? Does he have so many things to do?” Sabrina complained in displeasure.
Steven was a working–class man with no status.
Grayson was disgruntled as well. He said, “Is he not picking up on purpose? He must’ve been a saint in his last life for you to fall for him in this one. How dare he not pick up?”
“He’s not the kind of person who ignores my call on purpose. If he’s not picking up, it means he’s busy” Annie explained.
Sabrina and Grayson didn’t care about what kind of person Steven was as long as he could help them. As they tried their best to contact Steven, other members of their family called.
All the Silvers were in a state of terror. Joshua Silver, the head of the Silver family, had received a call. He scolded them for being such daredevils. How could they give Joe an aphrodisiac? Joshua nearly couldn’t breathe. He was on the brink of fainting.
Grayson, Thomas, and Annie hadn’t told him about their plan. Before he received the call, he had no idea about it.
The entire Silver family sunk into a state of chaos. They knew they couldn’t reverse the damage and save themselves this time. The Silvers wouldn’t be able to remain in Jipsburg in the future. Decades of effort had gone down the drain.
An hour later, Annie realized she’d lost many followers on Instagram. All her friends had distanced themselves from her.
夕
Amidst her panic, she called Steven twice more. However, he still didn’t pick up. As Annie was feeling helpless, she suddenly thought of Skylar. Immediately, she called Skylar.
The call went through. However, Skylar didn’t pick up; Joe accepted the call instead.
“Why are you calling Skylar?”

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
